CASES OF (GOOSE) REPELLENT,
Alternative lyrics to that classic folk tune,
“Grandma’s in the Cellar,” as sung by Lisa Loeb.
Cases of repellent
From bio-chemical talent,
Basting grasses with nasty-tasting spray…
(HONK, HONK!)
Hordes of geese our sidewalks pooping
Aren’t conducive to poop scooping,
What a broom and real hot water cleans away!
–
NASTY GEESE—BIG RELEASE!
It’s a problem for the public walking through…
But those anti-goose talents
Make foul-tasting repellents,
So the chore of cleaning sidewalks may be through!
–
Company tried imitation
Coyotes stationed
At fixed points trying to scare geese away…
(HONK, HONK!)
But the old geese soon saw through
That subterfuge too,
In a week the “faux furs” had nought to say!
–
NASTY GEESE—-BIG RELEASE!
It’s a problem for the public walking through…
But with anti-goose talent
Making foul-taste repellent,
Maybe our goose problem will disappear too!
